Russia Head coach Vladimir Kondra:"My susbtitutions saved the situation. Of course, it was a tough match. Volvich was tiriing after one or two shots.So I had to remove him. Markin was a good substituion. But the hot weather inside the stadium affected the players. That was why we lost two sets and was in a difficult position."

Russian Captain Valentin Bezrukov:"It was hot and difficult. After some substitutions we could play better."

Poland Head coach Stanislaw Gosciniak:"We had problems with players injuries. My team played a much better game against Russian than yesterday. A couple of mistakes in the first and fourth sets cost us very badly."

Poland captain Maceij Krzywiecki:"Russian block was too strong. It was a good game, but we made mistakes at crucial stages. It is bad."
